Physical Summary:
The brook is located near commercial businesses such as Dominos and a bakery. The road nearby is busy and there is also a popular intersection not too far from East Woods. In the past 48 hours there has been periods of time where it has been clear and sunny and times where there has been heavy rain. For having had a lot of rain there are very low levels of water in the brook. The water appears to be very clear and has no odor. There are many rocks in the water of all different sizes. There is a relatively low embeddedness of the rocks and the average is around 31 percent. There is also a slow rate of velocity since the water moves slow and there were many rocks blocking the path of the tennis ball we used to calculate the rate.
